HL7 DICOM

HL7 and DICOM are standards for sharing healthcare information electronically. HL7 (Health Level Seven) focuses on exchanging clinical data like patient records and lab results. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is specialized for handling medical images such as X-rays and MRIs. Both ensure different healthcare systems can communicate effectively, maintaining accuracy and security. Think of HL7 as the language for patient info and DICOM as the format for medical images, enabling seamless integration across hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers for better patient care.
